Manila Standard Today Online
This is the online edition of Manila Standard Today, a nationally circulated
newspaper published daily in the Philippines since February 1987.
The Web site, born in August 2002, extends the newspaper's
reach beyond its traditional readers and makes its brand of Philippine news
and opinion available to a much wider and geographically diverse international
readership.
In tone and content, the online edition mirrors the
editorial thrust of the newspaper. While hewing to the traditional precepts
of fairness and objectivity, the Manila Standard Today believes the news of
the day need not be staid, overly long or dry. Stories are succinct, readable
and written in a lively style that has become a hallmark of the newspaper.
Opinion pieces reflect the wide range of viewpoints that contend for attention
and acceptance in the place all Filipinos — regardless of where they
live — call home.
